The town in Spain with two time zones

Even the church looks surprised.

Rihonor de Castilla is a town in Castilla y León with just over 100 inhabitants. Despite its small size, it can boast of being the only town in Spain with two time zones.

How is it possible? Because, in reality, it belongs to two countries, Spain and Portugal.

The village is situated to the south of Sierra de la Culebra, next to the Portuguese border. The town is crossed by the river Fontano, also known as Comtessa or River Onor in its Portuguese stretch

When you “get over” your “jetlag” you’ll find that it is a beautiful area. The attractiveness of the village and its landscapes, the traditions, and the enormous possibilities of development have attracted people wishing to settle in the village.
